If you are looking for the perfect stocking stuffer, you might consider a Powerball ticket. Right now the lottery is up to an estimated $280 million ($151 million cash option)
If somebody does win the jackpot, it is going to be a very happy Christmas indeed! (actually, it will be a day late, because the drawing is on Wednesday the 25th!)
Of course, the odds of any one person winning are incredibly low (an estimated 1 in 120,000,000 chance.) That number is literally so close to zero that you have a better chance of getting hit by lightning 3 times in a row during a rainless day. But somebody is eventually going to win it, and YOU can't win it if you don't play.
Money the state earns from the lottery goes into Rhode Island's general fund, so it's possible that you could be helping out the libraries or the schools by playing. (Then again, you could have been buying expensive steaks and lobsters for the Governor of Montana when he was here.)
